Several areas of the face as well as the body are eligible for treatment with botulinum toxin. The indication is made during your initial interview.
Eyebrow
The upper third of the face is often the part most precociously affected by skin aging. The eye area sags, excess skin weighs down the upper eyelid , the eyebrow sags, dark circles deepen and crow’s feet wrinkles are more and more marked. These manifestations of aging impact the look, which appears aged.
Raising the tail of the eyebrow is one of the indications of choice for botulinum toxin. This will open the eyes , energize the expressions and give a real youthful look to the face.
Forehead
The aging of the forehead has a strong impact on the aesthetics of the face. The consequences of tissue aging are associated with repeated movements, which gives a wrinkled and severe appearance to the forehead.
In very expressive people, these manifestations can be marked at an early age. The injected doses of botulinum toxin are skilfully chosen in order to obtain a resting of the forehead without a frozen effect .
The forehead muscles will gradually relax, the forehead skin will become smooth. The release of frontal muscle tension rejuvenates the face.
wrinkles
With age, folds or breaks appear in the skin. Indeed, the skin barrier gradually weakens, the components that maintain skin hydration and tone decrease in quantity but also in quality ( hyaluronic acid , elastin, collagen), and sagging skin sets in.
Accentuated by external factors such as sun exposure, pollution or overall lifestyle, skin aging is thus responsible for wrinkles .
Muscular hyperactivity therefore leaves increasingly visible traces, resulting in marked expression lines . It is in this context that the injection of botulinum toxin is indicated.
Frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles respond optimally to treatment with Botox Ⓡ .
In addition, vertical lines above the upper lip (often known as smoker’s lines ) can also be treated with botulinum toxin.
lion’s wrinkle
The famous vertical wrinkles that lie between the eyebrows define the frown line . This expression line follows the repeated contractions of the corrugator muscle, the muscle used when we frown.
Frown lines affect the upper third of the face, which appears aged and severe. The development of crow’s feet and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead are added to the frown lines, which accentuates the aging of the face .
Botulinum toxin injections reduce muscle contractions and thus reduce expression lines.
Sweat
Hyperhidrosis is a situation most often badly experienced on a daily basis . When this excessive sweating concerns the hands ( palmar hyperhidrosis ), it impacts both professional and personal life. Hyperhidrosis that affects the armpits ( axillary hyperhidrosis ) causes strong intimate discomfort, limits the choice of clothing and can transform social life into a real phobia .
Botulinum toxin injection is an effective solution to excessive sweating. It has now made it possible to replace the surgical treatment classically practiced in this case, namely endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy.
BotoxⓇ works by temporarily blocking the transmission of nerve signals to the sweat glands (glands responsible for sweat production ) .
The result is temporary and it will be necessary to plan maintenance sessions, the effects generally last between 6 to 12 months.
